Words Ii

Words
Words are weapons
I sharpen each
To cut the flesh from your bone
To cleve the atom from the soul
Words
Words are hard and soft
They protect or protest 
They shape nations 
I do all the rest
Words are like hammers
Hammering home the words
We use words as blunt force
We see words as healing balms
Words
Words are like weapons 
Broken in trust
Misfires in lust
Words
